Why doesn't he understand?

I am having a horrible time at the moment, my ed is out of control and i am beginning to realize my partner fuels my desire to binge and purge.
He doesn't understand that this is an illness,(no he doesn't want to understand)!
He doesn't support me, he says why don't i just not eat then i wont purge!
Last night he read part of an entry over my shoulder, before i had time to minimise it, read the word binge and started being quite nasty to me, saying "so what you been binging on then? is there any left for me"? over and over again,in an agressive manner!he saw that i was upset but just kept going on. I hate the way he makes me feel such a failure.

Right now you've got two men in your life: Ed and your partner. You need to explain to your partner that he has to help you fight off Ed because otherwise Ed will steal you and that is never ever ever a good thing.
Good luck :)

In that case..
Maybe both of the men in your life are abusive.
Maybe if you're going to have one you need to have the other!
Your partner clearly doesn't always have your best interests at heart.
Is it time to go?

i think it is time to go as i don't think i can get better being with him, my ed had stayed pretty dormant for a few years and has only got really bad in the last 3 years , since we started living together!
I feel he has made me have low self-esteme and the sad thing is i don't think he realises he is doing it!

It's tough but it's time to go.
I don't know ANYTHING about relationships. I'm with my first boyfriend right now, and we haven't yet made it to two weeks!
Still though, when someone's hurting you you have to get out. If a friend was going through this same situation and confided in you, your advice would probably be to get the hell out!
The same applies to you

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
